I HEAR YOU

Over and over and over again, I hear you
And the things you’re telling me
Opposite but true, I hear you
And the things you’re telling me
Opposite but true
Am I loosing you ?
I hear you
Over and over again, I hear you

I always wanted to believe you
And I still do
Not sure I understand
But I wish I would
Oh, I wish I could
I hear you
Was about to go but here I am
Here I am beside you
So tell me again ‘cause
I hear you
No one’s saying things like you do
I hear you
I always wanted to believe you
And I still do - yes, I still do
Over and over again
I hear you and I won’t go




THE HUNTING IS OVER

I’ll forget about my shame
I’ll take care not to blame
Anyone who wants the same
And I listen to what you say
But I’ll find my own words to pray
Find my own words to pray
The hunting is over

Sometimes we get scared so easily
Too many words explaining
How come I didn’t think of you for so long
I’m not the only one with a dream
It’s over for you, it’s over now
The hunting is over

I’ll forget about my shame
I’ll take care not to blame
Anyone who wants the same
And I listen to what you say
But I’ll find my own words to pray
I’ll make friends from far away
I’ll take care not to blame
Anyone who wants the same
And I’ll face the ones who fake it all
Just to build another wall
The hunting is over




NOT EVERYTHING FOR THE WRONG

Reach out to what I never knew
Find no words for what there is below

I’ve got to forgive myself
Tho’ I can’t forget what I’ve done

All that wasted energy
All my wasted energy

Not everything for the wrong, I realize
Some went to the right places

Not everything for the wrong, I realize
Some went to the right places

Reach out to what I never knew
‘Cause I choose different things by now

I choose, I choose, I choose different things now

Not everything for the wrong, I realize
Some went to the right places

Not everything for the wrong, I realize
Some went to the right places

Not everything for the wrong




WHAT IS IT THAT I DO

What is it that I do
Along the way
What is it that I do
With all the different things going on
What is it that I do
Along the way
Restore what’s left
That’s what I do
Renew my view
That’s what I do
What is it that I don’t do
We keep it undone
We better keep it undone
So there’s nothing to restore
So there’s nothing left
We better keep it undone
So there’s nothing to restore
Just nothing left
Why is it that we don’t act, we don’t do
How is it all new after all these years
Because we don’t know
Just because we don’t know
We better keep it undone
Better keep it undone
So there’s nothing to restore
Nothing left to restore
Nothing left




THICKEST WATERS

Everything now, uncomfortable
All these thoughts, uncountable

Walking through thickest waters
Nothing pulling me down

Will I know where to go?
Drawing lines so I keep in my mind

All the things that I’ve been looking for
Drawing lines so I don’t walk in circles

Walking through thickest waters
Nothing pulling me down

Will I find you safe when I’m back
Will I find you




YOU SEEM SO ALIKE

It all seems so real
I am all in
I care so much
Your sadness is mine

You seem so alike
But it’s just me that I see
Only now I know that I’m lonely
No one told me
This was wrong
And I am all in

You seem so alike
Your hopes are mine
Hold on to the right things
Hold on to the right things
Be brave, be brave
Hold on to the right things

You seem so alike
Only now I know
That I’m lonely




RECALLING

Long now I stand here
Starring into nowhere
Long now I stand here In sullen silence

The sun is leaving for today
The sun is leaving for today
But I’m not where I meant to be
This is not where I meant to be
I’m not where I meant to be

So I’m recalling
Recalling where I came from
Recalling where I’m from
Recalling where I came from
Wondering when time will reset my light

Whispers on the wind I hear it calling
Recalling where I came from
